Table I Table II

The NRC is issuing this FY2023 proposed fee rule based on the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2023 (Enacted). The proposed fee rule reflects a total budget authority in the amount of

$927.2 million, an increase of $39.5 million from FY 2022. As explained in the proposed fee rule, certain portions of the NRCs total budget authority for the fiscal year are excluded from NEIMAs fee-recovery requirement under Section 102(b)(1)(B) of NEIMA. Based on the FY20 23 enacted budget, these exclusions total $13 7.0 million, consisting of $9 7.1 million for fee-relief activities;

$23. 8 million for advanced reactor regulatory infrastructure activities; $13.4 million for generic homeland security activities; $1.2 million for waste incidental to reprocessing activities; and

$1.5 million for Inspector General services for the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.

Based on the 100 percent fee-recovery requirement, the NRC will have to recover approximately

$7 90.2 million in FY 20 23 through 10 CFR Part 170 licensing and inspection fees and 10 CFR Part 171 annual fees. The amount required by law to be recovered through fees for FY 20 23 would be

$3 3.5 million more than the amount estimated for recovery in FY 2022, an increase of 4.4percent.

The FY 2023 fee recovery amount is increased by $1.2 million to account for billing adjustments (i.e., for FY 2023 invoices that the NRC estimates will not be paid during the fiscal year, less payments received in FY 2023 for prior year invoices). This leaves approximately $791.4 million to be billed as fees in FY 2023 through 10 CFR Part 170 licensing and inspection fees and 10 CFR Part 171 annual fees.

The NRC estimates that $195.4 million would be recovered from 10 CFR Part 170 fees in FY 2023.

This represents a decrease of $3.4 million or approximately 1.7 percent as compared to the estimated 10 CFR Part 170 collections of $198.8 million for FY 2022. The remaining $5 96.0 million would be recovered through the 10 CFR Part 171 annual fees in FY 2023, which is an increase of

$42.0 million when compared to estimated 10 CFR Part 171 collections of $ 554.0 million for FY 2022.

See Tab Budget Authority (FY 2023 ) for supplemental information on the distribution of budgeted FTE and contract dollars.

Determination of P rofessional Hourly Rate

Section III.A.1

Table II I

Proposed Professional Hourly Rate is $300

The NRCs professional hourly rate is derived by adding budgeted resources for (1) mission-direct program salaries and benefits; (2) mission indirect-program support ; and (3) agency support (corporate support and the Inspector General (IG), then subtracting certain offsetting receipts and then dividing this total by mission direct full-time equivalent s (FTE) converted to hours. The only budgeted resources excluded from the professional hourly rate are those for mission-direct contract activities.

The NRC has reviewed and analyzed actual time and labor data in the NRCs Human Resource Management System for the most recent completed fiscal year (FY 2022 ) to determine if the annual direct hours worked per direct FTE estimate requires updating for the FY 2023 fee rule.

Based on this review using actual time and labor data, the NRC determined that 1,551 hours0.00638 days 0.153 hours 9.11045e-4 weeks 2.096555e-4 months is the best estimate of direct hours worked annually per direct FTE. This estimate excludes all non-direct activities, such as annual leave, sick leave, holidays, training, and general administration tasks.

Definitions of Professional Hourly Rate Components

Mission-Direct Program Salaries and Benefits:

These resources are allocated to perform core work activities committed to fulfilling the agencys mission of protecting public health and safety, promoting the common defense and security, and protecting the environment. These resources include the majority of the resources assigned under the direct business lines (Operating Reactors, New Reactors, Fuel Facilities, Nuclear Materials Users, Decommissioning and Low-Level Waste, and Spent fuel Storage and Transportation) are core work activities considered mission-direct.

Mission-Indirect Program Support:

These resources support the core mission-direct activities. These resources include for example, supervisory and nonsupervisory support, and mission travel and training. Supervisory and nonsupervisory support, and mission travel and training resources assigned under direct business line structure, are considered mission-indirect due to their supporting role of the core mission activities.

Agency Support (Corporate Support and the IG):

These resources are located in executive, administrative, and other support offices such as the Office of the Commission, the Office of the Secretary, the Office of the Executive Director for Operations, the Offices of Congressional and Public Affairs, the Office of the Inspector General, the Office of Administration, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, the Office of the Chief Information Officer, the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer and the Office of Small Business and Civil Rights. These resources administer the corporate or shared efforts that more broadly support the activities of the agency. These resources also include information technology services, human capital services, financial management and administrative support.

Offsetting Receipts:

The fees collected by the NRC for the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Indemnity (financial protection required of licensees for public liability claims of 10 CFR Part 140) are subtracted from the budgeted resources amount when calculating the 10 CFR Part 170 professional hourly rate per the guidance in OMB Circular A-25 User Charges. The budgeted resources for FOIA activities are allocated under the product for information services within the Corporate Support business line. The indemnity activities are allocated under the licensing actions and the Research and Test Reactors products within the Operating Reactors business line.

Est i m at ed Annual M i ssi on Di r ect FT E Pr oduct i ve hour s:

Also referred to as the productive hours assumption, reflects the average number of hours that a mission -direct employee spends on mission-direct work in a given year. This excludes hours charged to annual leave, sick leave, holidays, training and general administration tasks. The productive hours assumption is calculated using actual time and labor data in HRMS (minus support and supervisory staff).

Total hours in mission business lines Total hours in mission business lines X Total work hours in a year (2,087) = Productive Hours Assumption

+ Other Hours

2,304, 9 86 X Total work hours in a 3,101, 8 43 year (2,087) = 1,5 51

S pecific S ervices

Section I II.A.2

Flat application fees are calculated by multiplying the average professional staff hours needed to process the licensing actions by the Proposed professional hourly rate ($300 for FY 2023 ). The agency estimates the average professional staff hours every other year as part of its biennial review of fees which was performed in FY 2023.

Full cost fees are determined based on the professional staff time and appropriate contractual support of services. The full cost fees for professional staff time will be determined at the professional hourly rate in effect the time the service was provided.

The NRC estimates the amount of 10 CFR Part 170 fees for each fee class based on established fee methodology guidelines (42 FR 22149; May 2, 1977), which specified that the NRC has the authority to recover the full cost of providing services to identifiable beneficiaries. The NRC uses these established guidelines to apply the most current financial data and workload projections by offices and divisions to calculate the 10 CFR Part 170 fee estimates. Current financial data includes: 1) four quarters of the most recent billing data (professional hourly rate invoice data);

2) actual contractual work charged (prior period data) to develop contract work estimates; and

3) the number of FTE hours charged, multiplied by the NRC professional hourly rate.

1. Percentages to allocate remainder of Generic Low-Level Waste resources to Power Reactors, Fuel Facilities, and Materials

DOEs Manifest Information Management System (MIMS) database was used to determine a 5-year average (Calendar Years 201 7 - 2021 ) based on the DOE MIMS Class. The following were the results as of 03/ 02/ 2022:

Power Reactor: 76.1%

Fuel Facilities: 7.9%

Materials: 16.0%

87% of the Materials portion from the above distribution is allocated to Oversight of Agreement States (AS) off-fee base category. This results in the following distribution:

Power Reactor: 76.1%

Fuel Facilities: 7.9%

Materials (NRC): 2.1%

Materials (AS): 13.9% *Allocate to Oversight of AS Fee Relief Category

To adjust the above Power Reactor, Fuel Facilities, and Materials (NRC) percentages, the percentages are divided by the total of the remainder after the AS portions were removed (100% - 13.9% = 86.1%).

Power Reactor 76.1%/86.1% = 88.4%

Fuel Facilities 7.9%/86.1% = 9.2 %

Materials (NRC) 2.1%/86.1% = 2.4%

10 CFR P ar t 171 Annual Fees

Operating P ower Reactors

Section I II.B.2.a

Table VI

The budgeted costs to be recovered through annual fees to power reactors are divided equally among the 93 power reactors licensed to operate. This results in a FY 2023 annual fee of

$5,486,000 per reactor. Additionally, each power reactor licensed to opera te would be assessed the FY 2023 spent fuel storage/reactor decommissioning annual fee of $267,000. This results in a total FY 2023 annual fee of $5,753,000 for each power reactor licensed to operate.

Note: The NRC amended its licensing, inspection and annual fee regulations to establish a variable annual fee structure for light-water small modular reactors (SMR) on May 24, 2016. Under the variable annual fee structure, an SMRs annual fee would be calculated as a function of its licensed thermal power rating. This fee methodology complies with OMB circular A-25 user fees and NEIMA. Currently, there are no operating SMRs; therefore, the NRC will not propose an annual fee in FY 2023 for this type of licensee.

Section I II.B.2.b

Table VII

For FY 2023, budgeted costs of approximately $32.9 million for spent fuel storage/reactor decommissioning are to be recovered through annual fees assessed to part 50 power reactor licensees, and to part 72 licensees who do not hold a part 50 license. Those reactor licensees that have ceased operations and have no fuel onsite are not subject to these annual fees. The required annual fee recovery amount is divided equally among 123 licensees, resulting in a FY 2023 annual fee of $26 7,000 per licensee.

Section III.B.2.c Table V III Table IX Table X

The FY 2023 budgeted cost to be recovered in the annual fees assessment to the fuel facility class of licenses [which includes licensees in fee categories 1.A.(1)(a), 1.A.(1)(b), 1.A.(2)(a), 1.A.(2)(b),

1.A.(2)(c), 1.E., and 2.A.(1), under §171.16] is approximately $19.9 million. This value is based on the full cost of budgeted resources associated with all activities that support this fee class, which is reduced by estimated 10 CFR Part 170 collections and adjusted for allocated generic transportation resources, and the low-level waste surcharge.

Section III.B.2.f

During FY 2021 NRC did receive an application under the Rare Earth fee class 2.A. (2)(f).

However, only 10 CFR Part 170 FY 20 23 budgetary resources were allocated to this fee class and did not require an annual fee to be established.

NRC revised the fee category for this fee class from 2.A.(2)(c) to 2.A.(2)(f) in FY 2009.

NRC eliminated fee category 2.A.(5) Uranium Water Treatment Facility effective with the FY 2019 Fee Rule.

Materials Users

Section III.B. 2.g

Table XVI

The following fee categories under §171.16 are included in this fee class: 1.C., 1.D., 1.F., 2.B.,

2.F., 3.A. through 3.S., 4.A. through 4.C., 5.A., 5.B., 6.A., 7.A. through 7.C., 8.A., 9.A. through 9.D.,

16, and 17. The annual fee for these categories of materials users licenses is developed as follows:

Annual fee = Constant x [Application Fee + (Average Inspection Cost/ Inspection Priority)] + Inspection Multiplier x (Average Inspection Cost /Inspection Priority) +

Unique Category Costs.

To equitably and fairly allocate the $39.6 million in FY 20 23 budgeted costs to be recovered in annual fees assessed to the approximately 2,4 00 diverse materials users licensees, the NRC continues to calculate the annual fees for each fee category within this class based on the 10CFR Part 170 application fees and estimated inspection costs for each fee category. Because the application fees and inspection costs are indicative of the complexity of the material license, this approach provides a proxy for allocating the generic and other regulatory costs to the diverse fee categories. This fee calculation method also considers the inspection frequency (priority),

which is indicative of the safety risk and resulting regulatory costs associated with the categories of licenses.

Transportation

Section I II.B.2.h

Table XVII Table XVIII

Consistent with the policy established in the NRCs FY 2006 final fee rule, the NRC will recover generic transportation costs unrelated to DOE as part of existing annual fees for license fee classes. NRC will continue to assess a separate annual fee under §171.16, fee category 18.A., for DOE transportation activities.

The resources associated with generic transportation activities are distributed to the license fee classes based on the number of Certificates of Compliance (CoCs ) benefiting (used by) that fee class, as a proxy for the generic transportation resources expended for each fee class. The amount of the generic resources allocated is calculated by multiplying the percentage of total CoCs used by each fee class (and DOE) by the total generic transportation resources to be recovered.

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

Section IV.

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended 5 U.S.C. § 601 et seq., requires that agencies consider the impact of their rulemakings on small entities and, consistent with applicable statutes, consider alternatives to minimize these impac ts on the businesses, organizations, and government jurisdictions to which they apply.

Additionally, the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) requires all Federal agencies to prepare a written compliance guide for each rule for which the agency is required to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis. Therefore, in compliance with the law, the NRC has made publicly available via ADAMS the FY 2023 Small Entity Compliance Guide.

Licensees may use this guide to determine whet her they qualify as a small entity under NRC regulations and are eligible to pay reduced FY 2023 annual fees assessed under 10 CFR Part 171.

The NRC has established two tiers of annual fees for those materials licensees who qualify as small entities under the NRCs size standards.

Budget Authority (FY 2023)

The table below delineates where the major portion of a Business Lines direct budgetary resources are allocated when calculating 10 CFR Part 171 fees for a license fee class.

The indirect portion of a Business Line (e.g. Training, Travel, Mission Support and Supervisors), as well as Corporate Support and Inspector General budgetary resources, are distributed among all license fee classes.

CROSSWALK OF BUSINESS LINES ALLOCATION TO FEE CLASSES*

Business Line License Fee Class Operating Reactors Power Reactors, Non-Power Production or Utilization Facilities New Reactors Power Reactors Fuel Facilities Fuel Facilities Nuclear Materials Users Materials Users Spent Fuel Storage and Spent Fuel Storage/Reactor Transportation Decommissioning, Transportation Decommissioning and Low-level Spent Fuel Storage/Reactor Waste Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery

Delineates where the major portion of a Business Lines direct budgetary resources are allocated for a license fee class.

Does not include fee-relief allocation. NRC does not have licensees under the Rare Earth fee class.

More information about 10 CFR Part 170 and 10 CFR Part 171 can be found at NRCs public website: http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/licensing/fees.html.
